Show Notes:

  • Are shops evolving? Are shops only having 5 ‘C’ technicians with a mobile diag technician getting outsourced?
  • Reading, comprehension, and explanation of service information
  • Shops must have service information and use it
  • Failure is a great motivator- it motivates you to be better
  • Have a learning atmosphere in the shop
  • How do you treat your technician when something goes wrong?
  • Electricians, HVAC, plumbers, construction, etc are at the high schools- the automotive industry must also have a place
  • Charge what you’re worth- don’t race to the bottom; elevate the industry
  • Image problem- people don’t view automotive professionals as professionals.
  • Is the mobile business a symptom of the industry?
  • Future of the mobile business- reduced but still evolving.
